One of the most informative Kingfisher videos on KZread

Awesome so lovely capture

Wow amazing images! You have 1 more Sub👍🏻

Hi Kevin, superb video and didn’t know about tip #2 and the rehearsal before dive 🤦🏼‍♂️ I have a location with regular perch but often quite dull so 1/3200 and f8 bit challenging and screwing up my “in dive” shots - but thank you so much 👍🏻😎

Thank you very informative

Your perfect guidance for Kingfisher photography. 👍🏻

Amazing video, thanks for sharing ! Gotta get myself some camo equipment

🙏👍👍no.1 👌👌

Superb video. Really appreciate all the tips 🙌

Lovely....thank you for all the great tips...

This is the best tutorial for photographing kingfishers.

Excellent Channel, Beautiful Photos, Very Helpful And Informative. Many Thanks For Sharing.

Your pictures are extraordinary and wonderful to see. Environment is obviously so important; and finding a bird family near enough to where you live, no doubt, helps a lot. Absolutely inspirational, thank you.

What can I say Kevin that hasn't already been said. Thank you for such a informative video. You have inspired me so much. Thanks again.

Thank you Kevin. I see Kingfishers every morning along the Blackwater River in Yateley (Hampshire) at around 8.30am - they seem very busy mot mornings. I think there are 2 nesting pairs about 100 yds apart but sadly one of them has started to look very old and shabby this year. My dog often wades below them while they perch and they dive around him as he stirs up the fish, returning to their perch with breakfast! I dont try to photograph them for 2 reasons; I dont have the equipment, and secondly, they are so frequently seen and for at least 5 minutes at a time, that I simply enjoy just being able to watch them from about 10 feet away.

Great shots of this beautiful bird! We can appreciate the effort you’ve put in making these images. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Very good tutorial. Where I live, we have the Belted Kingfisher. The adults are extremely nervous and take off when you are 200 feet or so from them. The Juvis are more forgiving.

awesome photos and great tips! I love these birds

I watched this yesterday, hands down the best advice on KZread for getting pictures of Kingfishers, hands down. I’ve been working through the rest of you equally great videos, thanks for the huge effort I know this must have taken 👏👏👏

Beautiful shots and very helpful tips Kevin. Thanks a lot!

Your photos are sensational! As a bird-in-flight fanatic myself, I love king fishers. I frequently visit our Kruger National park and smaller parks in South Africa in search of King fishers. I’ve only been lucky twice where I’ve been in a position to shoot from my vehicle a kingfisher diving in- and out of the water. Being in a park one is not allowed to be outside your vehicle and when you are parked on a bridge to finally get the photo of a life time, you have to move on as there are other cars waiting for you to move which is very frustrating! You seem to have the ideal spot. Thank you for sharing your magnificent photos.

Excellent video. Superb photographs.

Perseverance has paid off in the end Kev. Nice one mate.

The kingfisher is the most beautiful bird in my region. It's always and adventure to search and photograph them. Thanks for sharing your tipps!

Some of the best kingfisher pictures i've ever seen, well done. Brilliant video, such useful information, thank you.

Great video and beautiful images. Kingfishers are my favorite bird.

Great great video, with a lot of good advices. And some real amazing shots. I am an Norwegian living in south Brazil, so the kingfishers here are very different from there. But i am sure that the techniques you are using there, also will work out great here. Thanks for all the good advices. Cheers, Bjoern

Great job. It was helpful.

Hey Mr. Hatley, awesome shots of the kingfisher 👌 thank you for Sharing your experience. Greetings from Germany

The kingfisher images are bloody wonderful and many thanks for the tips...

Fantastic - if very useful!

Excellent images they are fantastic! Great video and tips thank you 👌👍

Loved watching this and you sure took some nice shots. Here in Belgium, we actually are having a period of seeing kingfishers all around the regular places. I must have taken more then 3000 photos in the past month of that beautiful bird. I love how you are not going into details of brand and stuff, wich only brings lots of unpleasant discussion. Looking forward to see more of your work.

This is a fantastic video. Interesting and informative thank you for posting this!

Fantastic Information in there, amazing shots.

Awesome and very informative video Kevin. I am watching a Kingfisher last few months, not had much success up to now, but your video will help me a lot. Cheers Mate 👍🏽👍🏽

Just subsribed Kevin, many thanks for an intuitive blog, as I have just found kingfishers in `East Renfrewshire, I have also just purchased the R5 with the RF 100. 500mm so looking forward to getting out there and trying for that magical shot. thanks again.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Highly appreciated

Brilliant very useful information Kevin I’ve just subscribed so looking forward to watching more content 👏👏👏👍

Excellent video.

Awesome informative video. One of the best sharing all aspects. Thanks so nice!

Excellent and very informative, thanks…

Bellissimo!! Ciao from Italy

Fantastic video!

very impressive, thanks a lot !

Very interesting and useful video. Thanks for your constructive methods of photographing

I enjoyed this and learned a lot. My problem has been knowing when the Kingfisher will take off as the bird is faster than my eye. So I will try our way of shooting the kingfisher. I recently got a Z9 so it has a precapture function but at the min of 30 fps so I have been able to capture some take offs and dives. Anxious to check out your other videos. I just love kingfisher, living here in Shenzhen China there are so many.

Super presentation. Very useful and thsnks for sharing

Great Video. Thanks for the Tips.

Thank you for your tips i will put them in to action and see how we get on Thank you again 👍👍👍👍

Great vid. Colors vary depending on your location in the world.

I appreciate your amazing knowledge of this Beautiful bird. I learned alot and I subscribed. Thank You!

Thanks for subscribing.

I have always been frustrated at knowing when the bird is going to dive, so I'll definitely have to watch out for the head movement. That could prove to be very useful.

Great video. A good friend of mine has captured some great shots of Kingfishers purched on the tip of his fishing rod 6 to 8 feet from him, but when fishing he doesn't take his camera for some reason, they were all taken on his phone.

Wonderful excellent video.

Great useful information and lovely shots - you mention the bird judging the water depth , on my recce’s I notice the bird when perched is frequently bobbing its head up and down -any thoughts on this behaviour as it doesn’t seem to proceed any particular activity

Enjoyed this Kev, memories of seeing them at Kingfisher Camp, Ripon. Keep it up mate. 👏
